My SWOT INTERPRETATION

My SWOT INTERPRETATION 

Where we are, is a reflection of the limit of our push in life called OUR STRENGTH. 

 Where we ought to be is a state of continuous improvement, getting better at what we do and positioning to do much more. That is happening as we deliberately Work on OUR WEAKNESS. 

In most cases, to overcome weaknesses is to make a mental adjustment and that is happening with getting aware of what must be changed and making the change happen. Now the Internet has made making the adjustment as cheap as the cost of the cheapest fully charged smartphone daily and a dollar worth of Internet data monthly.Explore the free courses with certificates on Open University and so many others to grow your career. That is Leveraging your OPPORTUNITIES.

Leverage your strength and opportunities to get ahead in Life. Bring exceptional value proposition to the market place, earn significantly more and get ahead of the impact of inflation. That will be Leading your Threats. 

When you live in Africa and you grow business global while you are local, you actually lead or leverage inflationary impact and threats become opportunities. Hiworks

The Thin Line Between Providing Value and Engaging in Theft by Hiworks

Money flows in the direction of value or money is the generally acceptable instrument used in exchange for service offering.

Whenever anyone gives this instrument in advance or in arrears, a service(s) is anticipated or consummated, respectively. The value providers and consumers are tied to certain expectations based on trust that both will fully the articles of the agreement without fail.

Consummation of the agreement must be full from both parties. Otherwise, one or both parties is seen to have deviated, and a violation of trust position is created.

In many cases, the value or service provider is a subject matter expert, and the client or consumer is a layman with an idea of what the fulfilment of the service offering is. A lot of times, consumers do not really know when the provider has not fully delivered the product or service to 100% value and may never know. 

Sometimes, service providers can deliberately under deliver, taking advantage of the client's ignorance or carefreeness.

In the same way, employees at work may actually spend significant part of their daily work hours watching movies, chatting on social media, and pretending to be working '8to5'.

Doctors may advise patients to go through unnecessary medical procedures that are avoidable just for financial gain, leveraging of patients' ignorance. Sometimes, a new problem is created where there was none before because a patient was intentionally given the wrong advice by a thief or an armed robber in a medical suit.

We are now getting to the core of this piece.

The moment any of the party to the articles of agreement deviate from the soul of that agreement, a different personality evolves and that person can only be described by many negative identities: thief, armed robber, murderer, 419 in our Nigerian parlance, disloyalty, violator, killer and such and such. 

Such a bridge of trust is a criminal offence, and many times, it may never be discovered by the victims or they decide to suffer in silence because they lack the means to prosecute or the will to go through the rigor and pain of our judicial system. 

Let's be clear about the fact that any of the sides to any agreement may deviate. A client may decide to short pay and pretend to be incapable of fully committing to the full payment after service was fully consummated. Some may even ask the provider to go to court, hoping to ride on the judiciary bottlenecks to escape justice. 

Many service providers have died from the pains of being short paid; from the inability to pay back on loans acquired to get certain works done.

There is no difference between an armed robber and a client getting service on false pretence or intention to pay that eventually intentionally deviates from.

It is also the case when someone uses the strength of an office position to obtain service with no intention to pay or to delay their payment or extort the victims mentally or violate their rights or demand for sex and such and such.

Any time and anywhere trust is abused or broken, the broker is in violation, spiritually and physically. The violator triggers a spiritual interruption, and until a closure, which is a punitive measure, is delivered, that imbalance remains.

A violator may seem to be getting away with crime to onlookers, but those who understand spiritual things know that that violator is only pretending to be ok; they may not share their inner regrets as they must continue to hide their criminality.

Everything is life is transactional spiritually and attracting good or evolving evil; we are better off on the side of good (a drawing into light) and all the sacrifices that will demand than being on the side of evil (a pull into darkness) and with all the volalitilities, uncertainties, complexities and ambiguities.

When an employee takes advantage of the employer, wasting man hours frivolously or colluding with suppliers to thin out profit margin, or when employers intentionally do not pay employees for personal selfish agenda or a doctor advises wrong procedure or a pharmacy advises wrong prescription for gain or when a service provider decides to cut down on quality of service intentionally for gain, THE PULL INTO THE DARKNESS IS TRIGGERED AND MAY GOD REALLY HELP YOU TO COME OUT.

There is a bible verse that aligns in 1 Samuel 15:22b part.....living translation....Listen! Obedience is better than sacrifice, and submission is better than offering the fat of rams..

Simply fulfil the promised 100% and move on; every good service gets paid for; eventually spiritually. This is my personal consolation and experience. Hiworks

EMPOWER OTHERS

One of the fastest ways to ensure progress in our lives is by becoming unnecessary for our current position. This happens when we empower our subordinates, employees and such and such who don't know as much as we do to be potentials for our current positions; they are actually our springboards for the next energy level (next level of power and influence) in the cycle of life. When you don't empower people around you, when you have such opportunities, you get stuck unfortunately because, there is no power for the next energy level. Hiworks

This is very common in the education industry, where certain teachers are delighted by the perceived complexity of their coursework content.

However, the true essence or relevance of professionalism is to demystify complex context in a layman parlance. The real job of a teacher is to create a hunger for further knowledge having built a solid foundation from the elementary principles of intended knowledge development. Otherwise, the entire relevance is lost. Hiworks

It's On You if Your results is not Great this Year

It's On You if Your results is not Great this Year

Do not be a typical African, that doesn't read..Try to read this article and work out the best of you that is....

Hello everyone and happy new year to all of you.
There is a saying that if we keep doing things the way we have always done them, our results, our productivity, our world will not changed.

Sometimes, we only consider that reality as if it is relating to business, however, it is about everything that makes us human.

We have a mandate from the SOVEREIGN GOD; a decree to be FRUITFUL, TO MULTIPLY, TO REPLENISH AND TO SUBDUE. THIS IS A MULTI-LEVEL IMPACT PERFORMANCE....LIKE MULTI-LEVEL MARKETING RESULTS.

Everything we are at birth is seed or potential or energy in passivity.

A lot of people stay in that passivity until they return to their grave; actually whatever you are outside of why you were created is nothing more than INSIGNIFICANT unfortunately.

There is a progressive process in those phrases.
The first thing you're mandated to do is become fruitful.....this means live out your TRUE ESSENCE (1 substance, spirit, lifeblood, heart, principle, soul, core. See synonyms for essence on Thesaurus.com.).

I particularly mentioned TRUE ESSENCE because lots of people are not leaving their true essence but are all what MOSES was before God spoke to him at EIGHTY YEARS or Abraham at 75years and amazingly True essence is what David or Joseph was ALREADY before 17years and and shockingly Samuel, Daniel, Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego at about 5years.

God wants us to know clearly age is not a barrier as he ordains even babies from the womb as in the case of Jeremiah.

Jeremiah 1 1
"Before I formed you in the womb I knew you, before you were born I set you apart; I appointed you as a prophet to the nations." "Ah, Sovereign LORD," I said, "I do not know how to speak; I am only a child."

Being fruitful is living out your True essences and the platforms are your home, your school, your office, your extended family circle, your neighbourhood, friends circle, your church world, everywhere actually.

What is your True essence, your True identity, your True personality and all.

I deliberately use a qualifier 'True'  because there are false essences. 'False'  will be anything short of the very best representation of you that was made.

Can you imagine you bought a grape fruit and in consuming,  the grape taste very sweet or in a case an orange fruit taste sour?...Those are two different cases of false essences and the chances are one will stop the consumption and suspect some foul plays. In another case an orange fruit is short of its juice or the grape is so short of its juice. In this second case, you may consume dissatisfied. This is also another case of a false essence.

'True'  will be the very best representation of you that was made.

I found the following lovely articulation of True essence.....

What are 5 attributes of a good person?
Qualities that form the foundation of all other human qualities include honesty, integrity, courage, self-awareness, and wholeheartedness. These qualities define who we are as human beings.2 Sept 2014

13 Human Qualities You Must Have to Succeed in Work and Life

You can see I was not talking about being an Engineer, or a Doctor or a Pastor,or a Teacher or a Pilot or a Gateman, or A Security Officer....all of that and more are PLATFORMS through which the essence find expression.

True essences relate to our humanism and as born again Christians, our Christian value system. The following is what now colours our humanism:

“The fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, generosity, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control…” Those who are in Christ are distinguished from unbelievers in that they have been gifted with the Holy Spirit, enabling them to bear fruit.

When you bear fruit or otherwise living out your True essences,your personality is coloured by those attributes mentioned above.

As we allow those to show up on what we do daily, unbelievable doors of opportunities are opens for ministry,  business, relationship, and all. Effortless scaling up in every area of life endeavours.

The next to being fruitful is to multiply...what I am doing now with you is multiplying my results and that happens as you take my stories seriously and review your operation and make necessary changes if there is need for any.

Replenish is next to multiply on the process journey...that happens when your results is pulling others that may never know me in the path of progress and we are turning the world around in the path of productivity from the chaos that currently defines us.

Subduing is what we must continually work to retain and there is no discharge in the war as there is an enemy laying claim to the world even though Jesus is the current owner.

Change your environment and your world and results will effectively change without fail.

You have everything you need already.

I therefore say again, It's On You if Your results is not Great this Year.

Are You In College For the Degree or For Economic Self Development Preparation?By Odusina, Adewale Hiworks, Oct. 27, 2022.

Are You In College For the Degree or For Economic Self Development Preparation?

By Odusina, Adewale Hiworks, Oct. 27, 2022.

We must redefine college education to our teaming youth; it must mean more to them that just a certificate to show one is schooled. It must mean economic self development preparatory program.

When this is the goal, then the programme must show the deliberate path to that future.

Otherwise A SMART STUDENT must alongside getting the so-called college education, which will just serve a basic social accreditation perception purposes, do other programs probably online and also offline that will make the college education marketable.

For example, a student of College Physiology can take up online information technology, lessons on business operations, money management, workplace inclusivity, Business & Operations, Customer Service, Staffing, Operations & Commerce, Selling, Workplace Inclusivity, Workplace Productivity,Employee Management, Career Development,Brand & Identity, Marketing & Measurement and many more.

Some of this skill development are available for free online (Try Google Primer and LinkedIn) and after completion and certain test of knowledge, certificates are issued.

Others will be for them to pick up trades...barbing, fashion designing, art works, vehicle and truck repairs, vehicle body works, cooking, laundry works and such kind of trades.

The world has changed and changing but a lot of our youths are still chasing the lost cheese.

They are in denial or lazy or fooled that the school certificate will deliver the lost cheese.

We need to push as many of them in our circle of influence to do the needful so they are not out of school and dependent.

Remember the demographic information says in Africa, over 50% of our population are below 40years.

Population of Africa 2021, by age group

Published by 

Mariam Saleh,

 Jul 15, 2022

 In 2021, there were around 207 million children aged 0-4 years in Africa. The population aged 17 years and younger amounted to approximately 650 million. In contrast, only approximately 48 million individuals were aged 65 years and older as of the same year.

If we don't take up the challenge today, we shall have in our society of tomorrow a catastrophic unemployable graduates to deal with.

Employment in the future will be for employable people that may not necessarily be college graduates but college graduates with employable skills will be ahead of the competition.

We have today to change that future narrative.Hiworks

No Child of God is Less Privileged

No child of God is less privileged. This is one of the realities of being a child of God and knowing so. Our God is Rich onto all that call upon Him.

I see a lot of sell-outs to the 'less privileged' association, especially with children looking for scholarship opportunities, communities looking for aids and such windows for buying into the classification are presented as baits. People, Christians, to win scholarships, favours will come with the 'less privileged' status or identification. This is a very wrong mental disposition for the point of view of who we have become in Christ.

The United States is one of the most indebted nations in the world but it will never be classified as a poor nation. They are still today, one of the most philanthropic nations in the world. They are so committed to their citizens to the point that even the missionary young man in his twenties kidnapped by terrorists and brought into our country,  a citizen that could only offer $40 to his abductors was rescued within four days by the best of American military forces, the navy seals. That would have cost some millions in dollars. 

That is how America place premium on their citizens. If you claim to be Christ, you are the citizen of God's Kingdom on Earth and your value is His life, meaning everything He is and everything He owns. When he was trying to demonstrate that value, He went to the cross, became the curse, paid our debt for sin and gave us a clean bill of blessing...access to everything God is and everything God owns. That is why it is called Too good to be true news; The Good News, or The Gospel.

We are not Less Privileged!!! I will rather stay without a man's help than receive any help because I am perceived to be needy, poor, less privileged, vulnerable, endangered or any of such.

I am blessed and empowered to succeed with the help of God flooding by being. This is how I see it. My life is flooded with this truth and I can not see otherwise; it is too late actually, it is an all-consuming continual transformation process that is getting clearer and clearer.

If you are a believer in the truth, carry it on your head like crazy or as it> is said today in our local YORUBA parlance, like KILODE!!!.

Refuse for life to isolate you from the benefits of your royalty; take responsibility for your royalty and the paraphernalia of spiritual attendances for Purpose, Providence,  Productivity, Preservation and Procreation through mentorship.

Time is a Just Umpire; Don't be Deceived; You've got Time, you've got all that you need for greatness; Getup!!! and Go be Great

Time is a Just Umpire; Don't be Deceived; You've Got Time, you've got all that you need for greatness; Getup!!! and Go be Great

Everybody is incubating something consciously and unconsciously. The future is already determined by your investment in times and seasons.

If one is doing nothing, well for whatever reasons one chooses to be claiming irresponsibility for inaction, the future has nothing in store for such one.

Doing nothing and idling away is proof that one does not see TIME like one sees MONEY.

It is the value of time that keeps changing probably from $1 per hour to $1milion per hour. 

Anyone in any nation, no matter how the economy is can grow the strength of his or her time value to the point that, no matter the currency of exchange, such will be rich and powerful. That is really what every Man must strive to build capacity for. 

This quest can be pursued by anyone and the opportunities to journey this path are upon all mankind; it is in every man's mission to journey the path of success and achieve greatness and invaluableness.

This is the real deal.

I have seen a retired principal rewarded with a brand new car, an SUV precisely, by students group she taught in the 90s and other teachers receiving cash awards. Many of such keep happening to show time value must be delivered; it can't be lost..it is a sovereign decree.

For the young graduates of higher institutions lazing around and still exploiting parenthood, hoping for a dream job that will come someday, the people fanning your uselessness unfortunately are destroying you and you do not even know it. Probably you are hoping to take over business inheritances.

For all of you defined above, Time gives what you have earned and also ferociously takes what you do not deserve. Little wonder businesses have suffered retrogression when passed down to undeserving children that failed the test of time and grit. 

Know now, you have everything already for greatness because you have the greatest invaluable resource, equal share with everyone else in life; TIME.

USE TIME DELIBERATELY

USE TIME INTENTIONALLY

USE TIME FEROCIOUSLY

TIME WILL DELIVER

TIME WILL DELIVER WITHOUT FAIL

USE YOUR TIME WELL

Miinding Our Own Success Game Plan

Miinding Our Own Success Game Plan

When was your last time online doing something that improves your trade?

Mine was last hour.

.

Something caught my attention some hours ago. I was watching a FREE empowerment session 'Taking the market as an Underdog' with Niyi Adesanya on YouTube for about two hours and only about 800 views after one year. I also check some of his other videos with a similar level of traffic. 

However, I checked the traffic for comedies and related fun fairs and the traffic was averaging over 500,000 views. 

Both had free access but most people are not interested in fishing or knowing how to position better for more effectiveness and get more. They are just comfortable with associating with successful fishers and probably getting from the crumbs that falls off unfortunately. 

Everyone must move from employees to stakeholders mentality; that mentality always deliver more into the Commonwealth platform. Even in government, if civil service become more efficient prompted by this mentality, more savings will be made and the excess will be available for the common good.

Little wonder, the low level of new entrance into entrepreneurships, partnerships and stake holdings.

We are not all going to be business owners but we must all at least grow from employees to become stakeholders in every sense of that in our chosen industries.

THAT TRANSITION WILL NEVER HAPPEN IF WE DO NOT INVEST INTO THE REQUIRED KNOWLEDGE BASE  AND WE SPEND OUR TIME ONLINE  WATCHING ARTISTE AND OTHER SUCCESSFUL PEOPLE IN THEIR CRAFTS.

When was your last time online doing something that improves your trade?

Mine was last night. Hiworks

Excellent Works Series

Excellent Works Series

The trials life presents to us do not always come scheduled like the academic examinations with dates and times and so we are caught red handed and our responses are most likely unrehearsed.

Unfortunately, unrehearsed response or otherwise determines what happened next; The result. This can be extra ordinary, excellent, good, pass or fail.

We know every failed exam is repeat until at least a pass.

Also, the quality of performance in life examinations also impact on future roles, responsibilities, influence, rewards and all that.

If we are not watchful we may just be circling the same spot for years and be blaming others for it when the issue is that we have been failing our life examinations.

A civil service worker that clocks in and leaves the office to run personal interests and gets paid salaries for inactivities is failing life examinations without knowing it. Also those doing eye service are not better of.

Life examination can not be bamboozled as action and inaction are equally recorded against every player.

Work is spiritual and every work is rewarded; you are either owing or being owed and every work gets paid for.

Every trial is a spiritual engagement and for as long as we are here, we are in one, coming out of one and going into one.

Every trial is scored and rewarded, otherwise failed trials will be repeated.

Unbelievably, nature abounds in resources to take EVERY HUMAN BEING on His trials. A graduate comfortable with idling at home because the dream job has not come is failing. Every Work gets paid for. A graduate can volunteer in a neighborhood school to teach while awaiting a dream job. This is just an example.

One of the ways to beat life's trials is to live deliberately and truthful. To stay committed to excellent performance in every engagement, To starve daily self aggrandizement and strife to help others make progress.

This is exactly what the Grace of God has come to animate in our lives. This is the true reflection of a Christian lifestyle.

Embrace the help of God today, Jesus Christ and be defined by His excellences. You will discover how easy it is to drive in Lagos and not raise your voice again to fellow road users, be a law abiding citizen, be slow to speak and to anger, be ready to forgive, be ready help others make progress, among other virtues of a Godly life.

The Dream has what it takes in you after all

It is amazing that when we are travelling even to an unknown destination, we keep an imaginary picture of the location in our mind before and on the journey; we don't mentalize the roadblocks, the bushes, the traffic, the cloud, the rain, and all at the same depth of emotional connection as the destination of interest.

We Must Do Much More For Our Dreams and de-emphasize the cost of the journey; The Dream has what it takes in you after all.Hiworks

THE DYNAMICS OF WEALTH CREATION ... WORK IT TO WORK

THE DYNAMICS OF WEALTH CREATION ... WORK IT TO WORK

Any financial success scheme that exempt one from some labour, mental, physical or both and it's not engaging any logical legitimate process but all premised on luck is preparing one for pain, uncertainties, Chaos, hunger and hyper tension. 

Decide what contribution you want to make in your community; it can be as simple as making stationeries like note books, biros, pencils and erazers available for school children to buy on their way to school and devote your life to that. 

In every city of Lagos, we have more than 100,000 school children and at least 50% of them will misplace those items daily and have them replaced at such a spot like the one you will provide. 

Simply grow your reach of such children daily and your financial growth is the reality.

One must decide where that societal contribution will be made and launch in.

Character is destiny.

Find the work, Do the work, Do the work well, find more work, get paid and become truly wealthy.

True wealth is not cash in the bank but the gratification that you have reached the community of people that you were meant to touch with your contribution to society.
